That 2 game suspension was bull. I really cant give a good answer. I really dont know. I just dont like the talking heads jumping all over the ship when they should done it from the get go. Who knows.

Talking heads were talking plenty on this story initially, but without definitive proof what can you do?

I was raised by a single mother who went through all that violence and i was a scared little kid that couldnt protect her. that shit breaks my heart and it stills fucks with today 20 years later. I dont and will never condone it. i dont apologize for my comment I hate bandwagoon folks.

I honestly feel that Rice's people hid things when it first happened; and the Ravens were too quick to sweep everything under the rug. I personally feel the video is just so sickening and shocking, that it led to the reaction.

Yeah I get the feeling everyone involved wanted this whole story buried as quickly as possible. Until the video showed up they almost did it too. Disgusting.

You wonder if the video even surfaces if that casino didn't close earlier this month

I tell ya, they need to run the john harbaugh press conference the first time he addressed this issue. Harbaugh and the ravens organization can go to hell. Eff them all.

I heard Rog Goodell hired this guy as one of his personal advisers for public affairs.

Personally I think the ownership of the Ravens needs to address this and not the coach

Seriously, poorly handled on their part yet again.

Agreed. Steve Bisciotti should have been the one on the podium addressing the situation. And what I don't get is that, if Rice lied to them, they should have stated that in any communication with the press. Which makes it easy to assume that they were involved in the cover up.

I know people want to buried Goodell, and rightfully so, but to me this is more on the Ravens as an organization.

We r a second chance nation, if he commits himself to change and stays in shape I wouldn't be surprised if he is given the opportunity to at least attempt a comeback.

How did tmz come into owning the video?

So the big bad nfl couldn't get the footage but tmz did?

Chico i would say that the casino closing opened up an employee looking to make a pay day.
